for the great nudge back to writing and the great suggestions on how to continue! Couldn't have done it without you guys! ^_^

Aw, yay! You're welcome. Nat gets the main credit for being the best Muse, however. Congrats on grooming the plotbunnies and completing the arc of your story. Although I like the tragic ambiguity of finishing it at Chapter 6, taking a year to age and craft the ending that feels right to YOU, the author, is truly a gift worth waiting for.

To go from years without any sensation whatsoever to awakening through the worst pain she’d ever know[n]

I'm a relatively new fan, so bear with me; I haven't seen all the eps. Are hosts anesthetized to tactile sensation? Because whoa, that sucks, given that hot sex with Ba'al of the Awesomely Ripped Bare Arms would've at least made being a host bearable! ;-)

His stuttering and and his flustered appearance tugged at her mouth

Yes, Daniel has that effect on the ENTIRE fandom, Vala. Get used to it.

“No, Martouf just kept going on and on.”

ROFLMAO Poor Sam!

“Well how about

Holy crap it is *awesome* to get reviews like this! ^_^ I'm with you on that tragic ambiguity (little known fact but I was going to end my vid "Somewhere" without voice-overs, thereby giving absolutely no concrete conclusion to the whole arc *cackles*) For this fic however, you're right, it didn't feel right to me to end it there :P

Hosts, to my understanding, have their consciousness buried deep deep deep inside and can't affect anything in the least. And when Goa'uld's are injured, they exhibit the signs of pain themselves so I would assume that the neural pathways for everything including pain and pleasure are rerouted to the symbiote. Just my theory though :P

I had never thought of that before but you're probably right! It would make the most sense to keep all alien-aftermath people in the same facility.

Totally loving how the ending actually has people in suspense! :D And I loved going through all your comments, it gives me such a good look into what's really working. Thanks for the awesomely fantastic review! :D

How totally serendipitous! :D Well I had to come back to finish off my WIP's and appease certain cheerleaders :P

There are definitely problems coming before the end, for almost everyone unfortunately. :P I'm quite sure Daniel remembers but can't bring himself to focus on her much, what with much more fascinating women on his mind and all ;)

It seems the mystery caller at the end is stirring up quite the suspicion. You won't have long to wait to find out who it is!

It was so great to get one of your awesome reviews, acer! I'm thrilled you liked this (very very late) update! :D
